There's so much I love about this picture of my sisters and me as we #sit on the concrete steps: One in barefeet, one with shoes, me with just socks; scarves all around; those sunglasses - if you zoom in, you can see they were 29 cents! Necco wafers; my sister's missing tooth. #DailyPictureTheme

Sending lots of love to those who struggle on Mother's Day, whatever the reason. Mothers, mothering, longing, unconditional love, regrets, loss, and intense sorrow all jumble together these days. ❤️💔

Bunny the kitty has become quite a little escape artist, slipping out surreptitiously whenever she can, ever since the day last week when I found the full-size door from her catio to the outside standing wide open. I've secured the door, but she's not satisfied with the current state of affairs.

Many thanks to a local angel! Our 15yo works at a local supermarket, fulfilling online pickup orders. Tonight, she was the only one in her department, and one of fewer than a half-dozen employees working in the store.

It's been a hell of a long day already. I'm grateful for Thursday night pick-up dinner from a local caterer!

Once more, and for the umpteenth time:
As we get closer to the election where Dobbs/Abortion/Roe is on the ballot in many places - do not fall into the trap of letting conservatives use edge cases to define the boundaries of reproductive health care.

But instead choose to prioritize our own wellbeing,
We're called bitchy and self-centered
If we ask for more support from you
We're called whiny
If we take time to rest
We're called lazy
If we have feelings & express em
We're hysterical
Fuck off
Just fuck off

It looks amazing. Someone asked her if it would be distracting (nearly every blank surface is covered) but she just said it looks like what's going on in her brain all the time, and she finds it calming.

Nellie Pennington @whoanellieOur girl (15) has a friend over, and calls me from her room. "Is it ok if I graffiti the walls in my bedroom?" After agreeing to mask off the hand-hewn beams, they went off to collect all the spray paint they could find in the garage. Can't wait to see what they come up with!08:50 PM - Apr 26, 2024

My neighbor's house following the ice #storm of 1998, central Vermont. (Also, how we constructed panoramic pictures in the days of film cameras and printed photos.)

On this day in 1958, following a 13-day engagement, my parents married. They made it nearly 50 years, until my father's death in 2008. They raised 5 kids, moving every few years during his military years, then settled in Maine and founded the Maine Antique Digest.

Me: "The emergency vet didn't charge my husband for the visit but said she'd never seen anything like the bumps on the pup's hind paws in her 14 years as a vet."
Our vet: (confidently) "Well, we'll see if it's something I've seen in my *42* years!"
After the exam:

Judge Merchan told Trump’s lawyer, Todd Blanche, that he’s losing his credibility with the court as Blanche tried to argue that Trump didn’t violate the gag order.
I don’t have even the tiniest 🎻 for this guy: no one made him ride the Trump Train.

In response to Doctor Michael.
As a boomer I remember the threats of quicksand! and avalanche! all too well.

A spout at 1:00 am is a great way to find out who the other night owls/insomniacs are (or maybe they're just in a different time zone).

The first time I was called, I was seated on just about every jury, since I had no history with substance abuse, violence, or the police, wasn't related to any of the parties, didn't know everyone in the county. The second time was just after my SIL was murdered. I wasn't seated on any that time.
